Note: BSA originally published changes to Cub Scout advancement requirements in late November, 2016, in the form of an on-line document listing the original and proposed requirements.
The requirements shown below are those in that document.The revised
requirements were later published in addendum booklets to be inserted in
the Cub Scout Handbooks for each level until they can be revised and
republished. The wording in the addendum booklets is similar to, but
does not exactly match the wording in the original proposal shown below.

Complete Requirement 1 and at least three others.
Note that any requirement may be completed based on family of origin
or family with whom you live.

Discuss with your parent/guardian, a family member, or other
caring adult where some of your family members originated. Discuss
family history, traditions, and culture—your family heritage.
Share a story or bring something to share with your den about
yourself and your family.

With the help of your parent/guardian/other caring adult, locate
and write to a pen pal there.

With your den, parent/guardian, or other caring adult, say
the Scout Law. Explain to your den one of the 12 points of the
Law and why you think a knight would have the same behavior.

If you have not already done so, make a code of conduct
with your den that will describe how each person should act
when you are all together. If your den has a code of conduct,
discuss with your den the updates it might need. Vote on which
actions should go in your den code of conduct.

Create a den shield and a personal shield.

Using recycled materials, design and build a small castle
to display at the pack meeting.

Think of one physical challenge that could be part of an
obstacle course. Then help your den design a Tiger knight obstacle
course. Participate in the course.

participating in a service project in your community.

With your den or parent/guardian/other caring adult, go
outside to observe the night sky. Talk about objects you see
or might see.

Show how to focus the device you chose.

Find out about two astronauts who were Scouts when they
were younger. Share what you learned with your den.

Observe in the sky or select from a book, chart, computer,

in the night sky. With your parent/guardian or other caring

and how the constellation got its name. Share what you found
with your den.

Draw and name your own constellation. Share your constellation
with your den.

Create a homemade model of a constellation.

Find out about two different jobs related to astronomy.
Share this information with your den.

With your den or family, visit a planetarium, observatory,
science museum, astronomy club, or college or high school astronomy
teacher. Before you go, write down questions you might want
to ask. Share what you learned.

Choose one active game you like, and tell your den about
how to play and why you like this game.

Play two team or relay games with your den. Tell your parent/guardian
or other caring adult or the other Tigers what you liked best
about each game.

Have your den choose a team or relay game that everyone
can play, and play it at least twice.

With your parent/guardian or other caring adult, select
an active outside game that you could play with the members
of your den. Talk with den members about the games suggested
by all Tigers. With your den, decide on a game to play and play
the game that your den has chosen. After the game, discuss with
your den the meaning of being a good sport.
